So much relief was felt when Chrono Trigger was announced to be coming to the DS, complete with myriad extras.Ĭhrono Trigger isn't a vast RPG like Final Fantasy VI, nor is it epically challenging to the point of being nearly impossible, like Wild ARMs. Regrettably, the collection it was on (bundled with Final Fantasy IV and called Final Fantasy Chronicles) was a broken and jumbled mess, making it virtually unplayable.

Regardless of Chrono Trigger's bona fide status as a quintessential RPG that everyone should play, the game has seen extremely limited release since its heyday in the mid-90s, and finding a working SNES cartridge is an expensive endeavor.
